1. Remain Calm

Do not get defensive or become disrespectful after your arrest. This only
gives law enforcement more reason to dislike you and to make your case
more difficult. Be respectful and compliant
WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS. You can be respectful while refusing to compromise your defense.

2. Know Your Rights

Remember, "you have the right to remain silent" and "you
have the right to an attorney." Your arresting officer may try to
convince or trick you into talking about your charges and your arrest.
Don't. Do not say anything until you have your attorney at your side to guide
and defend you. Otherwise, you may say something that the prosecution
will use against you during your trial.
